It's the one thing I miss most from working for Dutch companies: being able to take a 20% pay cut and work 20% less.
Theoretically, that should be a great deal for my employer: the extra rest, and just the way productive work is usually spread out across the week, means that my productivity definitely was not down 20% compared to now, so I was cheaper per hour.
Yet even that culturally seems to be a hard sell in a majority-North American org, let alone keeping pay the same. Shame.
